Safety Notice

Review the following safety precautions carefully before operating the instrument to avoid any personal injuries or damages to the instrument and any products connected to it.

The instrument should be serviced by qualified personnel only.

Avoid Fire or Personal Injury.

Use Proper Power Cord. Use the power cord designed for the instrument as authorized in your country only.

Ground the Instrument. The instrument is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock the instrument grounding conductor(s) must be grounded properly before making connections to the input or output terminals of the instrument.

Observe all Terminal Ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all ratings and marks on the instrument. Follow the user’s guide for further ratings information before making connections to the instrument.

Do not Operate Without Covers. Do not operate the instrument with covers or panels removed.

Use Proper Fuse. Use the fuse of the type, voltage and current ratings as specified for the instrument.

Avoid Circuit or Wire Exposure. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is on.

Do not Operate With Suspected Failures. If suspected damage occurs with the instrument, have it inspected by qualified service personnel before further operations.

Do not Operate in Wet/Damp Conditions.

Do not Operate in an Explosive atmosphere.

Keep Product Surfaces Clean and Dry.

The disturbance test of all the models meet the limit values of A in the standard of EN 61326: 1997+A1+A2+A3, but can’t meet the limit values of B.

Input Terminal Protection Limitation

Protection limitation is defined for the input terminal:

1 Main input (HI and LO) terminal

HI and LO terminals are used for Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Continuity, Frequency and Diodes measurement. Two protection limitations are defined:

1) HI-LO protection limitation: 1000VDC or 750VAC. It is the maximum measurable voltage. The limitation can be expressed as 1000Vpk.

2) LO-ground protection limitation. LO terminal can safely “float” 500Vpk relative to the ground.

The maximum protection limitation of HI terminal relative to the ground is 1000Vpk. Therefore, the sum of the “float” voltage and the measured voltage cannot exceed 1000Vpk.

2 Sampling (HI Sense and LO Sense) terminal

HI Sense and LO Sense are used for 4-Wire Resistance Measurement. Two protection limitations are defined:

1) HI Sense-LO Sense protection limitation: 200Vpk.

2) LO Sense-LO protection limitation: 2Vpk.

3 Current input (I) terminal

I and LO terminal are used for current measurement. The maximum current which go through the I terminal is limited to 10A by the fuse on the rear panel.

NOTE: Voltage on the current input terminal corresponds to voltage on LO terminal. To obtain favorable protection, specified fuse should be used.

IEC Measurement Category II Overvoltage Protection

To protect against the danger of electric shock, DM3058/DM3058E provides overvoltage protection for line-voltage mains connections meeting both of the following conditions:

1 The HI and LO input terminals are connected to the mains under Measurement Category II conditions, defined below.

2 The mains are limited to a maximum line voltage of 600VAC.

WARNING: IEC Measurement Category II includes electrical devices connected to mains at an outlet on a branch circuit. Such devices include most small appliances, test equipment, and other devices that plug into a branch outlet or socket.

DM3058/DM3058E may be used to make measurements with the HI and LO inputs connected to mains in such devices (up to 600VAC), or to the branch outlet itself. However, DM3058/DM3058E may not be used with its HI and LO inputs connected to mains in permanently installed electrical devices such as the main circuit-breaker panel, sub-panel disconnected boxes, or permanently wired motors. Such devices and circuits are subject to overvoltage that may exceed the protection limits of DM3058/DM3058E.

NOTE Voltages above 600VAC may be measured only in circuits that are isolated from mains. However, transient overvoltage is also present on circuits that are isolated from mains. DM3058/DM3058E is designed to safely withstand occasional transient overvoltage up to 4000Vpk. Do not use this equipment to measure circuits where transient overvoltage could exceed this level.
